• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First, I want to support and congratulate my sister Cecilia for coming up with this Bill. This Bill has come at a good time. In this country, we have about six laws on medical practitioners; they talk about nurses, clinical officers, pharmacists and even dentists. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I do not see anything wrong in having another regulatory body in the engineering profession. Kenya will not be the only country which has come up with two regulatory bodies in the engineering profession. We have other countries like Canada, Malaysia and USA, which have two regulatory bodies. We just need to have this other body, so that we ensure that the other cadre of people who have not been recognised by the ERB are recognised. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: In our country right now, we have about 26,000 engineers. Only 2,000 have been registered by the ERB. This is something which we cannot accept at all. In our country where we depend mainly on the informal sector, we have about 600,000 technologists, technicians, craftsmen and even artisans. But this group of people is not recognised. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The ERB has just recognised a few people in the engineering profession, and left out the rest of the people with all their professional qualifications. I know that there was an attempt to amend the Engineers Act 2011 to ensure that it accommodated other cadre of people, but there was a lot of hostility to the extent that engineers have called technologists spanner boys. This is not something we cannot agree on, or even accept. Be they called “spanner boys” or by any other name, they are Kenyans, have undergone professional training and have to be recognised. Section 6A(3) of ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: We need to say that for you to be forced into a private club so that you can be recognised is unconstitutional. That is why we are saying that we need to have another regulatory body. Also in the Engineers Act, they also say that you cannot refer to yourself as an engineer, or engineers, if you are not a corporate member, or are registered with the ERB. We have so many graduate engineers right now but they cannot call themselves so because this Act is really bad, biased and discriminatory. We need to support this Bill so that the ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The ERB or the engineers who have been registered with it are not sincere in saying that they want to have an amendment, so that they can accommodate the rest of the cadres.

• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: removed Section 11(5) from the Engineers Act, 2011. For them to be sincere they should even say that we also need to have technicians, the craftsmen and even artisans. They removed that section and showed that they were not sincere. That is why I advocate that we have another body to regulate the engineering profession. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I know the ERB is part of the East Africa Community (EAC), and there is a mutual recognition agreement. If you are an engineer in Kenya you are recognized in Tanzania, Uganda and other countries in the East Africa Community. We also need technologists, technicians and artisans also to be recognised in the EAC and also globally. For them to be recognised, we need to have a body which will recognise all of them. After that we can also come up with an agreement to also make them part and parcel of the EAC. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana, Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika wa Muda. Mimi pia nasimama kuunga mkono Hoja hii ambayo imekuja katika Bunge letu la Taifa. Kwanza, Mkataba huu unataka kuweka kidete ushirikiano wetu wa kijeshi wa mataifa matano ambayo yako katika Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki. Huu Mkataba hautakiuka Katiba yetu ya Kenya. Haswa, tukiangalia Kifungu 241(3), tunaona kuwa hautakiuka sheria yetu ambayo ni “sheria mama”. Pia, Mkataba huu ambayo tunataka kuupitisha kuhusu ushirikiano wa kijeshi umeangalia Kifungu 125 katika ile Mikataba ya Afrika Mashariki ambayo kwa Kiingereza tunasema Treaty for the Establishment of the EastAfrican Community . Tukiangalia nchi yetu ya Kenya, tumekumbwa na ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Mkataba huu pia umezungumzia kuwa wanajeshi wetu wanaweza kutembeleana, kupatiana motisha zaidi na kuinuana juu zaidi katika mambo ya kijeshi. Jambo hili litatupa nguvu sisi kama nchi tano za Afrika Mashariki. Pia, tukishirikiana na tuwe na nguvu za kijeshi, nchi zingine ambazo pengine zingetaka kutuletea matatizo au kutufanyia uvamizi, zitaogopa kwani zitajua sasa si kidole kimoja ambacho kinavunja chawa, bali vimekuwa vidole vitano ambavyo vimeshirikiana.
